Sorry, had something in my throat.
Anyway, does that count as a twist? That more just comes off as Kishi being high since he expected us to continue to have any support for Sasuke. I suppose if you count the twist as Sasuke being gullible enough to fall for that crap in the first place but it doesn't seem like a twist.
I will instead argue that Zetsu and Kaguya being that super ultimate mega bad-guys is far worse. It had potential but that was literally zero foreshadowing and was handled like the Dash-Con ball pit debacle. The fact they were only introduced for Kishi to try and absolve his favourite pets of wrong doing was just adding insult to injury.
I remember reading some of the leaked stuff, I think it contained the exact ending that ended up in the final game. But I'm not entirely sure because I forgot about it until I played the game and saw it, so I'm not sure if my memory is/was just playing tricks with me.Silentpony said:
Back to topic:
That the Aliens are vulnerable to water. Until that point they seem like a serious threat, but the moment it's revealed they look like incompetent fools. Why do they care so much about a planet that is pretty much unlivable to them, that they don't want the humans throw around atomic bombs? Why wouldn't they at least wear a raincoat on a planet where water tends to fall from the sky.
After they finished of some kind of alien invasion some godlike entity is presented, which I'm not sure how much it's involved with the story at all. But it's something that someone pulled out of nowhere.
I admit Gantz isn't something you read/watch because of the great story, but there are limits.
It's not that i didn't suspect her, i was simply ok with either outcome, perhaps she wasn't lying and she will be able to rest in peace or she will kill the asshole who let the killers in. What did happen to the region? All i saw was that guy getting killed and then i left.MeatMachine said:
Predestination - i don't even know whether it's good or bad.. It turns out that the hero of the story had sex with himself and then gave birth to himself and is also the villain that he/she was chasing all this time and all of this was achieved by time travel. It's actually even more complicated, but i wont bother.
Okay, put down the magnifying glass and walk with me. We're just going to take a few steps back and... Alright, now you see that over there on the table? The whole game of FF8, right there? THAT'S the worst plot twist I've ever seen. I don't know why you even used spoilers. It's so bad that it doesn't deserve them.SmallHatLogan said:
Ok, i wouldn't really call that a twist but more of a consequence.MeatMachine said:
But even if we call it a story twist, why would you say it's a bad one. As you said, there are plenty of red flags, and pretty obvious ones as well, hinting at the outcome of that option. It doesn't come out of the blue, it makes sense in the context of the quest and the lore of the world. I don't really see why this would be "The worst plot twist you have ever seen in your life".
Or did you misread the op and thought he meant the plot twist with the worst consequences?

Remember all the looters and angry peasents that just straight of died from disease on that island? Yeah, you just unleashed THAT on the main Land of Velen. You pretty much unleashed the pest upon the land.
If you had refused her, you would have talked to her former lover and convinced him to apologize to her. He then goes to the tower to apologize to her, sacrifices himself by kissing the pesta and then her spirit is pacified and the curse is lifted.

Well I won't disagree that the entire game is complete bollocks, but I do feel like the bit I mentioned was where they hit rock bottom.FalloutJack said:
I thought the twist in signs was that;Thyunda said:
The aliens weren't hostile and were not invading at all
My most hated twist was from Predestination with Ethan Hawke where...
He turns out to be his own mother and father and is a completely closed temporal loop. They spent so much time on that and it went nowhere. I mean someone even talked about how special he was because of the closed loop but they never mentioned why and it was pointless. Not to mention that when older male but pre burn victim um protagonist is talking about the man that seduced him when he was a woman, he failed to recognize himself from his memory. They were stretching that movie really thin to make it work and it didn't, for me anyways.
Yeah, as much as I love FFVIII, I have to admit that the entire GF/amnesia angle came the fuck out of nowhere. It makes sense in context, I suppose, but with zero foreshadowing it still feels extremely cheap (it also didn't help that it was revealed as part of a very long chain of info-dumping sessions.)SmallHatLogan said:
As for my pick, I go with G-senjou no Maou (Devil on a G-string) written by the Shyamalan of Japanese writing, Looseboy.
To put it short: It is a revenge story of a high-schooler who gets forced into the japanese underworld due to his parents' depths and gets unofficially adopted by a yakuza boss he hates. Unsurprisingly, there is an underground vigilante/masterming called Maou on the loose who seems to target the same people he hates. We also get to see some parts from this Maou's point of view, which always happen after the protagonist gets a crippling headache. Oh, and he is stated to have psychological issues. In fact, we even see Maou and he looks just like our protagonist.
The twist? It was his evil older brother, and all of the over-the-top foreshadowings were put there to directly devceive the reader, but what makes it especially bad is that in most routes (the game has three heroine scenarios and one true route), the protagonist IS Maou! How can that be? According to word of god: Those are alternative universes I invented so as not to spoil the twist. Real classy.

Worst, well there's an anime called Clannad, well uh.. the ending is absolute shit!
So the anime starts getting kinda interesting when the characters grow up and get married, then a couple of interesting things happen such as the protagonist's wife dying during childbirth and the protagonist being an asshole and abandoning her daughter with her grandparents, then nothing happens for like 5 years and because the grandparents on vacation alone he ends up having to take care of her, they end up going on vacation together and they bond and he decides he's finally going to do his job as a father and take care of her (Which is probably when it should have ended), so after that a lot of stuff happens, his daughter falls ill and she dies, which is awful but at least it was interesting but then BAM! Magic happens and all events are re-done and both his wife and and his daughter are now alive and they lived happily ever after...
Wait what?! What kind of shit ending is that?!
I mean I do understand that the whole magic thing was being telegraphed from the beginning but what's even the point of going through all those dramatic events if you're just going to Deus Ex Machina the whole thing? Makes the whole thing feel like an absolute waste of time because there is no real pay-off and we never even get to find out what he did on the "Bad" timeline, absolute bullshit I say.

Eh. I can't really call that a plot twist. Plot twist means story has to change its course. No part of the story was pivotal to Kidd's gender.SmugFrog said:
The aliens in SignsNimzabaat said:
weren't invading, per se. They were slavers or raiders. They were landing their ships in low-population areas, breaking into houses and abducting families, who they'd drag aboard their ships for some nefarious purpose. It's a tiny detail only mentioned on the radio after the night in the cellar.
The film had a surprising amount of nuance, for a Shyamalan horror starring Mel Gibson. The plotholes tend to cover themselves but only if you're paying attention to seemingly irrelevant crap.
Most of the movie Mr. Nobody, I'd guess. I got it, it's explained well enough, but it sure as hell didn't get me! Another one I didn't like was Eli turning out not being much of a looker in The Book of Eli. Oh yeah, got one from the literary world too - my novel of 2014 - Ready Player One: the main character's best friend isn't quite like he thought he was.
Aech is actually an overweight black lesbian who lives in an RV (while Wade's cyber gf Art3mis is a totes hot chick just like her in-game avatar).

Ansem's back!
Except the real Ansem is dead, and this fake Ansem is just Riku in disquise.
... except it turns out that the real Ansem wasn't the real real Ansem - it was just a fake real Ansem using the real real Ansem's name the whole time! Real real Ansem has been in hiding this whole time! The fake real Ansem's name was actually Xehanort.
[KH:BBS]
... but Xehanort isn't the real Xehanort, just a fusion of the real Xehanort and some other bloke, who also lost his memory so fake Xehanort (who, remember, is also the fake real Ansem) doesn't even know he's the fake Xehanort!
[KHDD]
Real Xehanort is back from the past!
And so is fake Xehanort!
And so is real Xehanort... again, but from even further back in the past!
And now everyone in Orginization XIII is also Xehanort somehow!
Oh God. What? That's actually what happens? Wow, I'm glad I stopped after KH2.
I'm over-simplifying of course but, yes, that's the gist. I'm still a sucker for KH though.
Wiz. For all you stuck in meat-space that want to know what the frag is going on without wasting precious knowsoft slots on this drek, try reading this timeline chummer. Simple sentences and pictures included that even the most discriminating slack-jawed head-scratching SINless troll can suss.

Blame the impossibility of the adaptation, I suppose. In the actual visual novel, one had to collect "wishes" by playing all the other routes aside of Nagisa's (and no, it is not explained what these "wishes" are, Japanese audiences are apparently a lot more tolerant to the "random magic out of nowhere" plot device to the point where writers are actively relying on that tolerance). Because of this getting the good ending at the end of the ridiculously long VN (we are talking about 50+ hours here) by repeatedly going through it to clear all routes (which were not all romance-related, some of them were just about helping other characters out with their problems) was a reward and an "Earn Your Happy Ending" scenario.Kaleion said:
The problem is that there was no way to put this into the anime adaptation without invoking some kind of time looping, which would have brought its own baggage with it. So yeah, if you want to blame anything for the Clannad anime's ending, blame the inherent difference between the mediums.
Isn't this kind of an... uh, what's the word... an oxymoron? The worst plot twist wouldn't really be a plot twist, would it?
